While on holiday on the island of St Martin in the Carribean me and my family took a short boat trip to the very small Ille de Pinel.
This is a fantastic place, with beautiful beaches and picturesque coastline paths. Well worth a visit if you're passing by!
Anyhow, we were on the jetty waiting to catch the boat back to St Martin when I spotted this girl, lying in the surf, reading a book. I couldn't resist taking a final photo, as I reckoned she summed up the whole relaxed beach experience, plus, she was great for foreground interest in a composition that included a beautiful sweep of beach, foliage and sea. What a place!
